Nobody should celebrate players tanking... that should never happen. Nobody should celebrate an org tanking either...

But, what’s wrong with playing kids... developing them... getting them experience... and rooting for them to be competitive but also seeing the benefit in enduring a losing season?

Look Westbrook and Curry. Had Knicks took the youth movement route (20th century term for tanking), instead of playing vets heavy minutes (Hughes, Harrington, Duhon)... NY wins 22 games instead of 27... and today, we would’ve been rewarded with a decade of a Curry-Westbrook back court.

Ergo, we don’t need Lee and LT playing heavy minutes. As fans, we can appreciate a rebuild and see the value in adding 1 more top 5 pick.

Exactly Mafra, specially since we have so many young guys. They shouldn't be riding the bench tbh

I feel like in the past coaches were always trying to keep their jobs so they never truly developed our young talent. Fizdale looks like he'll have a longer leash because of the KP injury and the youth movement.

The Dolan Knicks does not have the right management personnel, nor does the Dolan Knicks has the right coaching-staff for a superior player like Zion Williamson. Duke college coaching-staff are 10 times better than the Dolan Knicks poor coaching-staff !!!

The NBA will not allow a FOOLISH Dolan Knicks team to select another super-star out of the draft after the Patrick Ewing fiasco !!!

Its not HATE .. its recalling the Knicks past .. for the first time and the last time in NBA history the Fans, Owners, and sport commentators called the NBA Lottery Balls RIGGED when the Knicks won the first pick of the draft to select Patrick Ewing.
How did the Patrick Ewing and Knicks organization work out? Not good when Patrick Ewing demanded to be traded!

Hypothetically speaking .. It would be Great for the Knicks organization to get the first pick of the 2019 draft to select Zion ..
Adding a powerful young 2-Way Big Zion to all our future star young-core teammates:
MitchRob, FortKnox, Trier, Dotson, and our future defensive Gangster Frank Nitty to run the point

Michigan St almost came back vs Kansas. Duke is up 32-11 right now on Kentucky. 5 of top 7 projected picks in June are playing in these 2 games.

Zion is 6”7’ and 285. Only 1 player in the NBA weighs more than Zion. He’s the same size as Aaron Judge. Oh, and he has a 45-inch vertical and feet of a dancer... to compliment his solid court vision and passing.

Zion closed out to prevent a 3... Nailed a deep Curry-like 3... this guy is a monster.

RJ Barrett is a beast as well.

If these 2 alone were the only guys in the draft it would be worth tanking.

Anybody who would prefer to win 33 games and end up selecting 12th over getting a shot at Zion or RJ is insane.
